Chapter 15 — After the Rain, Nam Son Still Has the Fragrance of Medicine

"We are coordinating the investigation with the police. The person inside is related to a murder."

The nurse's expression immediately changed and she quickly lowered her head to check.

"There is no one named Tham Nhuoc Lan. The registrant is Tham Lan."

Co Nghien Tri's face immediately darkened. Duong Tue scolded:

"Even the name changed. Is it nursing or preparing to run away?"

Co's mother said in a shrill voice:

"Don't slander! She's pregnant with our Co family's child, of course we have to protect her."

I suddenly asked:

“Mrs. Co, how are you so sure that this is the child of the Co family?”

Mother Co was stunned.

“It was Nhuoc Lan who said.”

“He also said he didn't take the needle bag.”

Mother Co's throat was blocked and her face turned red. The clinic door opened and the doctor walked out.

“Sham Lan's family?”

Mother Co immediately stepped forward. The doctor frowned.

“The patient is not pregnant.”

The entire hallway immediately fell silent. Mother Co didn't seem to understand.

“What did the doctor say?”

The doctor looked at the file and replied:

“She's not pregnant.”

“She asked us for a pregnancy certificate, but we couldn't give it.”

Co Nghien Tri's face cooled little by little. Co's mother grabbed the doctor's sleeve.

"No way! She clearly vomited, and said her period hasn't come yet."

The doctor withdrew his sleeve.

“Stomach problems can also cause vomiting.”

“As for other things... the patient himself knows best.”

Duong Tue laughed out loud.

"Where is the Co family's blood? Why did it turn into a stomach disease?"

Co's mother turned and rushed straight into the clinic. The interior window is open. The curtain was blown away by the wind. Tham Nhuoc Lan has disappeared. The nurse quickly said:

“Just now she said to go to the bathroom.”

I walked to the window and looked down. Outside the second floor there is an emergency exit, the end of which leads directly to the rear stairs. Co Nghien Tri immediately ran to chase. Uncle Trieu's men also quickly followed. Co's mother sat down on the chair, still muttering.

"It can't be... Did he lie to me? Did he dare to lie to me?"

I looked at her.

“Didn't you only accept the child of the Co family?”

“Now that the child is no longer there, are you still worthy of protecting it?”

Co's mother raised her head, her eyes full of struggle.

“He really lied to me, but don't be too quick to be complacent.”

"Your mother died because Chu Hoai Le's people made that phone call, it has nothing to do with me."

Uncle Trieu brought a stack of documents.

"Mrs. Co, this is the document you transferred money to Tham Nhuoc Lan, along with the recording of you telling her to come and disrupt the engagement ceremony."

“The police have received it all.”

Co's mother's voice trembled.

“I... I just want to annul the marriage.”

“I never wanted to kill anyone.”

“My mother also just wanted to attend her daughter's engagement ceremony.”

Co's mother hugged her face and burst into tears.

"How did I know it would turn out like this? Gian Thanh, it's true that I didn't like you before, but I never wanted your mother to die."

Duong Tue walked up angrily.

“Who are you crying for now?”

"The shrine is right at Nam Son, do you dare to come in front of her mother's coffin and cry?"

Mother Co did not dare to say another word. Half an hour later, Co Nghien Tri returned. Tham Nhuoc Lan was led behind, her hair disheveled, and even a shoe was missing. As soon as she saw Co's mother, she immediately knelt down.

"Auntie, help me. I didn't mean to trick you, I'm just so scared."

Co's mother raised her hand and slapped her.

“You dare to use a fake pregnancy to trick me?”

Tham Nhuoc Lan covered her face, cried and crawled towards Co Nghien Tri.

“Nghien Tri, I love you. I was afraid you wouldn't need me anymore, so I said I was pregnant. I really don't want to hurt you, I just want to be by your side."

Co Nghien Tri took a step back.

“Don't touch me.”

Tham Nhuoc Lan stiffened on the ground.

“Nghien Tri?”

Co Nghien Tri looked at her.

"She wore a white dress and rushed into my engagement ceremony, sat in Thanh Thanh's mother's place, took her mother's needle bag, transferred the call, causing her mother to miss the emergency room, and even lied to me that she had a child."

"Those words were not said by me, they were said by Chu Hoai Le's people!"

“But you received the phone call.”

"I don't know!"

“Tham Nhuoc Lan, why do all the things you don't know... end up benefiting you?”

Tham Nhuoc Lan raised her head and looked at me. The weakness in her eyes finally crumbled.

“Is it beneficial for me?”

"She was born as the daughter of Lam Thanh Hoa, with her grandfather protecting her, and Nam Son Duong waiting for her to return."

“At Co's house, you pretend to be pitiful, and I'm the one who has nothing!”

Duong Tue immediately scolded.

“You don't have anything, so you steal someone else's mother, someone else's engagement, and someone else's fiance?”

“You really know how to be self-reliant.”

Tham Nhuoc Lan shouted.

“Co Nghien Tri already loves me!”

"If Gian Thanh hadn't taken the place, he would have married me a long time ago!"

The last bit of warmth on Co Nghien Tri's face also disappeared.

“I pity you because I think you were bullied by Tran Thieu.”

“I didn't expect you to see everyone's softness as a knife to take advantage of.”

The police quickly arrived and gave summons to Tham Nhuoc Lan and Co's mother. Co's mother held Co Nghien Tri's hand tightly.

“Son, you can't ignore me.”
